I am looking for a Sybil Mason on the US Passenger records for 1928 (the 1930 census said she arrived there that year and her obituary states that she arrived in her 20s so it sounds about right) I cannot find Sybil arriving there other than what seems to be on a visit with her mother in 1910. I can't see her travelling under another name. She was born with that name and it appears that she never married and died with that name!! She was born 23th Aug 1909 in Bristol. Can anyone offer any suggestions? |

Maybe she arrived by airship. Between 1928 and 1929, the Graf Zeppelin alone flew fifty long-distance flights. I don't know if such passenger lists exist. |

Yeah saw that - wondered whether it was business partner or partner in lurve! If I can solve the riddle of how she got there and with whom I might be able to solve another riddle. |
